    Amazing, just amazing . . . Apparently most of the world wants to come to a country where millions of people are dying every year from lack of health insurance!!!!!

    This is very alarming. Someone should send all of those eager immigrants a bulletin, telling them just how terrible things are here, and not to bother coming.

    I don't get it either.

    Clearly health insurance is every person's #1 priority. Why would anyone in sub-Saharan Africa want to give up that benefit and move to a country (America) where millions are dying from gay marriage instead of famine, disease or war?

    They are clearly coming here because George W. Bush made this country great! He rescued us from that hell known as Clinton years! Clearly this number is going to dramatically drop the longer Obama is in office. [/sarcasm]

    Regardless of what the Left is trying to do to this country, it's still the greatest country in the world. A country where anything is possible.

    You may be onto something. Maybe they've heard that Obama is "spreading the wealth around," and they all want their share!

    Everyone can't get on the USA bandwagon fast enough while we're number 1. Will all these fair-weather fans jump ship when China, India or Liechtenstein become the top dog?

    The question everyone needs to ask is, "Are you a fan of the nation or a fan of the success?"

    How's this?

    It was absurd to relate this article to health care so I ran with it and added gay marriage to the discussion. Also, I doubt there is universal health care in sub-Saharan Africa

    Didn't you read the board rules? You're prohibited from running with it while Nate is the coach.

    One more outburst like that and Denny will send you to the pines.

    Wait, I thought Obama was making the US look weak and bad to the rest of the world. Now people want to move here?

    What you are missing is that those 165 million people are all Marxists.

    Everybody's a Marxist when it's to their benefit.

    Welcome to Marxism, Shooter. We meet Thursdays, in the basement. Tell the guy at the door you are here to "see about the plumbing".
